For Novak Djokovic, Sunday’s Australian Open final presents a chance to win a historic fourth title, for opponent Andy Murray, it’s an opportunity to make it fourth time lucky in the final at Melbourne Park. Already, no player in the Open Era has been more successful in the year’s first Grand Slam than Djokovic. His four titles put him level with two of the sport’s greats, Roger Federer and Andre Agassi, and now a fifth is within his grasp to take him to within one of the all-time record holder Roy Emerson.http://www.ibtimes.com/australian-open-2015-mens-final-start-time-tv-schedule-live-stream-info-djokovic-vs-1801432Sat, 31 Jan 2015 12:25:55 -0500VIDEO Australian Open 2015 Final Highlights: Serena Defeats Sharapova To Win Women's Titlehttp://www.ibtimes.com/video-australian-open-2015-final-highlights-serena-defeats-sharapova-win-womens-title-1801366
